Abstract excerpt
Use of mixed models is in the spotlight as an emerging method for genome-wide association studies (GWASs). This study investigated the statistical power for identifying nucleotide variants associated with quantitative traits using the mixed model methodology. Quantitative traits were simulated through design of heritability, the number of causal variants (NCV), the number of polygenic variants, and genetic...
